Katherine Romanak Discusses CCS as part of the NAE Grand Challenges Initiative at UT Austin

On January 30, 2012, Dr. Katherine Romanak spoke as part of the National Academy of Engineering initiative called the Longhorn Grand Challenges Scholars Program at The University of Texas at Austin. Engineering students are studying the Grand Challenges in engineering as outlined by the National Academy of Engineering. Carbon capture and storage is one of the Grand Challenges. Katherine spoke about geologic CO2 storage and careers in carbon management. View the video of the presentation "Geologic CO2 Storage".

Cranfield Field

The carbon sequestration site at Cranfield Field outside of Natchez, Mississippi is a centerpiece of STORE's Research and Technology Transfer Initiative. Highlights of field trips to Cranfield include a tour of Denbury Resources' gas-separation facility, venting of CO2 from a flow line at an injection well, viewing of core of the injection and confining zone intervals of the Tuscaloosa Formation, and viewing of monitoring instrumentation designed and operated with funding from the National Energy Technology Laboratory in collaboration with Sandia Technologies, LBNL, ORNL, USGS and LLNL.
